Tang Xi sat in the fishing room, sighed and drank stuffy wine, and scolded in his mouth: "Zhu Wan doesn't care about my, he only knows how to take Lao Tzu out of anger, whatever!" Wu Guang listened, knew that Tang Xi had been criticized by the county order again, guessed that he was in a bad mood, and was borrowing wine to kill his sorrows, so he poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, and asked quietly: "Head, you said Zhu Wan...... With his little ability, he will be a ghost killer? ”

Tang Xi was just about to drink tea, but after listening to Wu Guang's words, he put the tea on the table and scolded: "As long as you like to meddle in things, do you dare to suspect that the county master has handled the wrong case?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, you're right, let's just eat and drink, be less nosy and get rich, hehe." Wu Guang said with a smile.

Tang Xi asked, "Let's get down to business, how much silver is left that the county lord rewarded his brothers last time?" ”

Wu Guangdao: "There are still more than twenty taels left." ”

"This silver is all asked for by the county lord, he has said a lot of good things for us in front of the county lord, today you make an appointment with the lord of Gao, invite him to the longevity villa to drink, and the right should be grateful."

Wu Guangdao: "Okay, the small ones will be arranged." ”

It didn't take long for Wu Guang to run over and say, "Lord Gao agreed." ”

Tang Xi said: "That's good, you and I will accompany you at night, and you can't talk about this matter to other brothers." ”

It was already dusk after the ya, Tang Xi stood up drunkenly, pulled Wu Guang and said, "Let's go, drink from Changshou Villa." The two of them left the county office, and when they were about to arrive at Changshou Villa, Tang Xi said again: "What's the point of just eating and drinking, it's only interesting to have a girl as a companion." Wu Guang knew Tang Xi's meaning, so he said: "Or, I'll go to Baichun Garden and pick a few?" Tang Xi said: "Can your toad eye pick out Chang'e?" Wu Guang smiled: "Also, if the girl I picked out is not satisfied, it will be bad, head, you are still in charge of this matter." Tang Xi smiled and said: "Even if you are still a little self-aware, you accompany Master Gao to drink first, and I will come when I go, you two don't have to wait for me." ”

Tang Xi walked crookedly, Wu Guang came to Changshou Villa to ask for a private room and ordered wine and food, and after a while, Gao Haitao also came as promised.

The owner of Changshou Villa is named Chen Xiaoqiang, who was originally a partner of Lu Zicheng Restaurant, and when Duan Qi was helping in Lu Zicheng Restaurant, Chen Xiaoqiang took care of him very much. After Lu Zicheng's death, the restaurant could not be operated, and Chen Xiaoqiang opened a small restaurant by himself, barely making ends meet. Later, Duan Qi married the White Dragon King, quite powerful in Luoshan, Duan Qi was grateful to Chen Xiaoqiang, and often took care of the hotel business, Chen Xiaoqiang's business is getting bigger and bigger, and now he has four restaurants in Luoshan. This longevity villa was originally a fish pond of more than four acres, close to the country road, Chen Xiaoqiang planted lotus flowers in the fish pond, and built a house in the middle of the fish pond with bamboo to build this restaurant.

After the wine and food were served, Wu Guang pushed ten taels of silver in front of Gao Haitao, stood up and poured wine for Gao Haitao and said: "Lord County Cheng cares about our fishing room, and I am entrusted by Tang Zhutou to give you a bowl." ”

Gao Haitao accepted the money and said, "You're polite, they're all my own brothers." ”

The two drank the first bowl, Wu Guang continued to pour wine for Gao Haitao, Gao Haitao said: "Let's talk in private, Tang Zhutou is greedy for fun and doesn't like to take care of things, everyone knows this, but a lot of face-saving things still have to be done, and they must not cause public anger." Recently, some people went to the county government to accuse Tang Zhutou of indulging wicked people, and even scolded him for being a lackey of the White Dragon King, ouch, anyway, there are a lot of ugly words, all of which have been intercepted by me, and I didn't let the county master know, you should go back and persuade Tang Zhutou to be. ”

"Yes, Tang Zhutou is too lazy to take care of things, and the people secretly call him a 'slippery ghost', but then again, many of those who fight and make trouble are the subordinates of the White Dragon King, if we detain them and hand them over to the county lord to deal with, won't it make the county lord embarrassed?"

Gao Haitao said: "That's what I said, I'll talk to the county master another day, and let him call the White Dragon King to restrain his disciples and grandchildren." ”

The two drank for more than an hour unconsciously, and most of the guests had already left. Wu Guang saw that Tang Xi had not come back, and guessed that he must have been drunk again in Baichun Garden, even if he waited until dawn, he would not come, so he called the bartender to settle the account, and asked for two jars of good wine to give to Wang Wu to take home.

The two walked along the bamboo pontoon bridge to the path, and when they got off the pontoon, there was a white horse tied to Gao Haitao on a tree twenty or thirty steps away. Before the two of them arrived in front of the horse, Gao Haitao scolded from afar: "Who are you?" Wu Guang looked at it, a person standing by the side of the white horse in the dark, Wu Guang thought that it must be a horse thief, there are often horse thefts recently, the county government has not caught the thief, it turns out that this thief is here.

Wu Guang rushed over quickly to catch the man, walked in and took a look, turned around and ran away with a scream, and fell into the pond in a panic. Gao Haitao, who followed behind, didn't know what to do, and when he looked closely, he saw that this person was dressed in a black robe, with a face like a child, holding a black rod, and he was murderous. Gao Haitao was shocked into a cold sweat, isn't this the ghost killer that the county government is looking for? Although Gao Haitao didn't believe in ghosts and gods, he couldn't help but feel weak and numb when he saw such a fierce and vicious image, and he wanted to resist, but he couldn't exert any strength, and watched the big stick of the "ghost killer" smash on his head.

The guests of Changshou Villa were attracted by Wu Guang's exclamation, and everyone came out to take a look, and saw Wu Guang struggling in the pond while shouting: "There are ghosts." ”

Hearing that there was a ghost, all the guests were so frightened that they cowered in the villa and did not dare to come out, and only one person rushed out with a torch in his hand and a long sword.

How can there be ghosts in this world, Yao Mingli doesn't believe in this set at all, but Wu Guang in the fish pond is obviously shouting "There are ghosts", out of curiosity and vigilance, Yao Mingli came over to take a look. When he came to the place near Wu Guang on the side of the road, Yao Mingli took a picture of the surroundings with a torch, where are there any ghosts?

Seeing that Wu Guang was still screaming in the water, Yao Mingli scolded angrily: "What the hell are you yelling about, what a wretch!" lost the face of the county government. ”

Wu Guang looked at Yao Mingli, and suddenly pointed at him in fear and said, "Ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost is behind you." ”

Yao Mingli was shocked, and when he looked back, the big stick of the "ghost killer" was smashing his head, Yao Mingli held the torch instinctively, although he dodged this stick, but the torch was knocked to the ground.

At this time, Yao Mingli understood what was going on, raised his sword and slashed, but in a blink of an eye, the "ghost killer" was gone, Yao Mingli slashed the air with a sword, and when he was surprised, a stick hit him from behind, right in the back of the head, Yao Mingli immediately fell softly, followed by a few sticks, Yao Mingli couldn't get up anymore.

This time, Wu Guang's screams were even more piercing, because the "ghost killer" had already turned around, looked at Wu Guang, and walked over step by step. Wu Guangda was horrified, and desperately swam to the center of the fish pond while shouting for help. When Wu Guang swam to the villa, the guests who were standing outside the restaurant and watched pulled Wu Guang up, and Wu Guang looked back and saw no trace of the "ghost killer".

Thankfully, he finally saved his life, Wu Guang was so frightened that he sat on the ground and couldn't get up.

Originally, Gao Haitao arrested five gangsters who usually mingled with Zhu Wan's ghosts, and two of them couldn't withstand the torture and confessed to Zhu Wan's murder. But the reappearance of the "ghost killer" is enough to prove that this case was not done by Zhu Wan, Zhao Zelun and Tang Xi had to come to the county commander Wang Wu to ask whether to let Zhu Wan and others go.

Wang Wu happened to have nowhere to lose his temper, and when he saw Zhao Zelun and Tang Xi coming to ask for instructions, he said angrily: "If there is no confession, let it go, and if you confess, you will be released for half a year." ”

The two were stunned, and now the ghost killer has come out to commit the crime again, whether Zhu Wan and others recruit or not, it proves that they are not murderers, why are they still imprisoned? Zhao Zelun and Tang Xi were puzzled, and asked together: "My lord, why is this?" ”

Wang Wu scolded: "These soft bones, he didn't do it, he still confessed blindly and misled the officials to handle the case, it's extremely hateful, it's extremely hateful, shouldn't they be imprisoned for half a year for introspection and introspection?" ”

When Tang Xi heard this, he hurriedly patted his ass and said, "Yes, yes, my lord is reasonable." ”

This time, the "ghost killer" not only killed the right-hand man of the White Dragon King, but also killed the county Cheng, and robbed and killed in front of many people, which was really becoming more and more rampant. The more Wang Wu thought about it, the more annoyed he became, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, the county was an official of the imperial court, how could this matter be concealed again, as a last resort, Wang Wu had to state the murder in detail, and submit the official document to the Xinyang Prefecture Ya, asking the state government to send personnel to assist in the arrest of the murderer.

Yao Mingli's death made Bai Wei silent for several days.

Bai Wei started as a gangster, and after more than 30 years of hard work, he finally sat in the position of the eldest brother of Luoshan Jianghu, known as the White Dragon King. Through robbery, Bai Wei accumulated a huge amount of wealth, and after making a fortune, he purchased a large number of real estate and fertile land, took his parents to live in the city, invited maids to serve the two elders, dressed his parents in gold and silver, and served them with good wine and meat.

Bai Wei's father, Bai Quan, and mother, Yang Qun, are both honest mountain people, and they are very puzzled to see that their son is neither an official nor a businessman, and he suddenly becomes so arrogant. Once Bai Wei and his brothers were drinking at home, Bai Wei saw a dog running in, furry and very cute, and casually gave a few pig's trotters on the table to the dog to eat, how did Bai Quan and Yang Qun not feel heartache when they saw it? Yang Qun blamed: "Wei'er, what a waste of pig's trotters to be eaten by dogs, how much money do our family have enough for you to waste so much?" Bai Wei was drunk and hazy, and said boldly in front of all the brothers: "Father, mother, I don't know how much money our family has, but I tell you the second elder, from now on, our family will do nothing, eat, drink and have fun every day, and it will not be spent in ten lifetimes, so your second elder can rest assured that he will enjoy happiness!" Hahahaha......"

Another time, the Dragon King and Zhao Zelun of the county official history drank and had fun, Bai Wei learned that the annual Yulu of the Dianshi was converted into forty taels of silver, Bai Weiwei smiled and said: "Lord Zhao, your imperial grain is only so little, it is better to follow the younger brother, and the younger brother can give you a thousand years of Yulu at a time." Zhao Zelun smiled: "I'm afraid that if I really take off this official uniform, it will be worthless when I come to you." Bai Wei smiled again: "That's that, those who know me, my lord." Both of them laughed.

In the past 30 years, Bai Wei has killed and injured many people and how many grievances he has made, even he can't remember clearly, but Bai Wei has never worried about the enemy coming to the door, Bai Wei is very confident that all his enemies are not his opponents, even if they have a heart for revenge, they have no ability to take revenge.

Before, it was rumored that there was a ghost killer in Luoshan, Bai Wei didn't mind, and then Yuanba was killed, which attracted Bai Wei's attention, and then, the brothers on the road died a lot one after another, and it was rumored that they were all killed by ghost killers, and now even Huahu and Yao Mingli were also killed, Bai Wei had to pay special attention to this ghost killer.

More importantly, in Luoshan, Bai Wei is known as the White Dragon King, the overlord of Luoshan, and an absolute gangmaster-level figure, although there are some other gangs that are not attached to him, such as one wolf and three tigers, but in Bai Wei's eyes, they are at best equal to Yao Mingli. Now that the appearance of the ghost killer has begun to spread in Luoshan, a discussion has begun to spread, that is, the ghost killer is the real overlord of Luoshan.

This is unacceptable to Bai Wei.

In order to prove that he is still the absolute big brother and re-establish authority, Bai Wei decided to openly challenge this ghost killer who everyone talks about.

However, no one knows who he is, let alone where he is, and how to challenge him?

The thirteenth day of June in the lunar calendar, according to legend, is the birthday of the Dragon King, and coincidentally, this day is Bai Wei's birthday.

Bai Wei's birthday has always been very grand, in addition to Bai Wei's cronies, brothers from all walks of life will come to cheer, and one or two of the county order, county officials, lords, and canons will come to congratulate as representatives of the county government, which is very lively.

This year, Duan Qi notified all the heroes on the road to participate in the Dragon King's 52nd birthday banquet, and the officials of all sizes in the county government also made posts, which exceeded the scale of any previous year.

On the afternoon of the 13th day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, more than 200 people came to Longwang Villa one after another, most of whom were subordinates who had followed the White Dragon King for twenty or thirty years. The county commander Wang Wu and the history of Zhao Zelun and the head catcher Tang Xi also came with their entourage to celebrate their birthdays. In the end, it was Luo Shan's other fierce god wolf tyrant who was belated.

The wolf tyrant's real name is Lang Ba, only because the means are extremely vicious, so he is called the wolf tyrant, and his three brothers Liu Guangfu, Chen Hu, and Ruan Tianhu are all ruthless, known as the "three tigers", and the road is called "one wolf and three tigers". The four brothers are not like other gang figures, there are many gangsters, and there is no one under the four brothers, and they usually fight in person, eat and drink together, although there are only four people, but they are famous and fearless, and few people on the road dare to provoke.

After the official opening of the banquet, Zhao Dezhi spoke impromptuly: "Lord County Order, brothers, today is the day of my eldest brother's fifty-second birthday. As soon as Zhao Dezhi finished speaking, everyone shouted in unison: "Blessed with the thousand-year-old dragon of the East China Sea, the old immortal of Shougao Antarctica." ”

The White Dragon King laughed, raised his hands and waved, motioned for everyone to sit down, and said loudly: "Who in the world can bless the thousand-year-old dragon of the East China Sea, and who can live the old immortal of Antarctica?" It's all, hahahaha, but today, thank you very much to the county magistrate and the brothers for their faces, thank you for coming to have a good time, Bai Wei is old, but there are so many brothers to follow, Bai Wei has no regrets in his life! Today, everyone drinks to their heart's content, if anyone doesn't get drunk, don't be my brother Bai Wei in the future. As soon as the White Dragon King's voice fell, there was a cheer below, and then, everyone walked around, fighting wine and guessing boxing, which was very lively.

When he was drinking, there was a child's cry outside the house, Duan Qiyi heard the voice of his son Bai Zhong, and immediately motioned to Wu Xia, who was pouring wine, to go out to investigate. Wu Xia went out to take a look, it turned out that Wu Doudou took Bai Wei's son Bai Zhong to fly a kite, and accidentally hung the kite string on a pear tree in the garden, and couldn't pull it off, Xiao Bai Zhong was so anxious that he cried because of this, and complained loudly that it was Sister Doudou who accidentally hung the kite on the tree.

Wu Xia and Wu Doudou took a long stick and beat and picked on the tree, but they couldn't get it down. This tree is more than two zhang high, and the trunk of the kite goes straight to the second floor, how can the two women Wu Xia and Wu Doudou climb up?

The more Xiao Baizhong cried, the more he cried, Duan Qi had to come out to see what was going on, and when he saw the kite hanging on the tree, he also scolded Wu Doudou for being too careless.

Bai Zhong's cry stirred everyone's interest, and many of the people sitting in the hall drinking looked out. Seeing this, Bai Wei left the table and said as he walked, "Who upset my son?" When everyone saw Bai Wei leave the table, they all followed.

Bai Wei and the others came out to take a look, the kite happened to be hanging on the branch, this branch is about the size of a wrist, there are many branches and leaves on the branch, the kite line is twisted on the leaf, people use a long bamboo pole to pick it down, it is impossible to pick it down.

Ruan Tianhu volunteered: "Dragon King, I'll climb up." "Such a tall tree, the main pole of the tree is bare, there is no place to grasp it with your hands, it is difficult for ordinary people to climb up, since Ruan Tianhu volunteered to go up, he must have this ability.

But Bai Wei stopped: "Brother Ruan, you are a guest today, how can Bai Wei let you climb a tree to get a kite for my son and pass it out, what do my friends in the rivers and lakes think of me, thank you, everyone get out of the way, Bai Wei has his own way." ”

After speaking, Bai Dawei stepped into the house and left.

After a while, the window on the second floor opened, and Bai Wei poked his head out and shouted, "Brothers, get out of the way." ”

Everyone didn't know what Bai Wei was going to do, they secretly wondered, and when they heard Bai Wei say this, although they didn't know the reason, they had to quickly get out of the way and stand far away from the tree.

Suddenly, Bai Wei jumped out of the window on the second floor, shouted, and slashed down with a palm, and the branch hanging the kite was accompanied by a loud "chirp", and it was actually split by Bai Wei alive, and Bai Wei's body, branches, and kite fell from mid-air together.

It was just a blink of an eye, and everyone was stunned.

Only Duan Qi, who was very calm and smiling, was the first to applaud, followed by thunderous applause and cheers, and the cry of "Dragon King, Dragon King, Dragon King...... was deafening.

The dragon king didn't pay attention to everyone, and went straight into the room to return to the wine table, and everyone followed, everyone returned to their seats, and looked at the dragon king after standing still. The dragon king invited everyone to sit down, everyone sat down together, only the white dragon king was still standing, the dragon king said: "Bai Wei has worked hard in Luoshan for more than 30 years, although he has done nothing and has not achieved anything, but there are so many good brothers who follow me, respect Bai Wei as the dragon king, Bai Wei is deeply grateful, this life has not been in vain." ”

After a round of applause, Bai Wei said again: "Bai Wei's only regret ......"

Seeing Bai Wei's face with a sad face, he stopped talking, Wang Wu said: "What regrets does the Dragon King have?" ”

The Dragon King looked up to the sky and sighed, and said sadly: "In the past two or three years, many of Bai Wei's brothers have unfortunately been secretly harmed, and as a big brother, he can't avenge them, Bai Wei is sad! In the future, if any brother finds clues about the ghost killer, please be sure to report it to Bai Wei, Bai Wei will definitely reward a hundred taels of gold, Bai Wei will meet this shrunken turtle, and use his head, mask and the big stick that killed my brother to pay tribute to the brothers who were killed. ”

Zhao Dezhi said in a loud voice: "Brothers, what is a ghost killer?" Hiding in a dark corner all day long and not daring to come out, he is a turtle with a shrunken head. Wu Youzhi said: "In my opinion, he is afraid of meeting a nemesis, and our eldest brother is the nemesis of the ghost killer!" ”

After the two of them said these compliments, the hall was full of jubilation.
